VBR MP3s don't decode right?

Live 5.01

Many of my VBR MP3s sound like a CD skipping after they are decoded. Does anybody else have this problem?

I had this problem. It happend as an mp3 track was being analyzed and I played another track. The track that was being analyzed showed an orig bpm of 16.2? Even though it was really 127. I had to close the program and reopen it. Then it warped fine.

I also had one file that would not open (mp3) I put it in sound forge and re-encoded and it worked fine. Sure there are still minor bugs, but I'm happy to have it, so far it's working okay. Version 5 that is, god a few beers makes my grammar suck:)

I think i've read somewhere on the forum that for VBR you'll need quicktime installed for correct decoding...

Thanks for this very valuable tip. I'm thinking about taking Live 5 on the road and do some DJ'ing with it, and VBR mp3s form the bulk of my material.

I am using the quicktime decoder, or at least I think I am.....I have quicktime installed and it is updated to the most current version. I looked in the log.txt and it says quicktime first and then directshow second. How can I be sure that the quicktime decoder is being used?
